The team had to make an interactive galaxy map which would allows DUST players to view the EVE Online Universe. All essential map data from EVE had to be available in the DUST view. It would also serve as the main form of selecting targets and destinations. In any case where a player is prompted to select a location in space, the map or one of its view modes would be presented. The map would have at least three view modes: Galaxy, Region and Planet.
Primary Goals
Dust needs an interactive map to immerse the player in the eve universe and give them a sense of scale and location.
It is also needed to make dust players aware of the player content of the eve universe and how it changes and evolves and see their impact on it.
It is also needed as a user interaction model for various empire related features.
It essentially should become the mercenaries user experience while out of battle
